This book was released on 2021 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical knowledge is vitally important to young children's development, as research demonstrates that it is a strong predictor of their later academic achievement (Duncan et al., 2007). Developing these skills early in life is crucial, as it allows children the opportunity to develop the necessary foundational skills for early schooling instruction. As parents typically serve as the primary instructors for preschool-aged children, outside of child care or preschool programs, researchers must examine the role of parents in their children's emergent math skills in order to provide the best education to these young children. Parental attitudes toward a particular subject have been demonstrated to affect the amount of time they dedicate to teaching their children said subject (e.g., Missall et al., 2015). This thesis sought to examine if parental attitudes towards mathematics could be improved by the use of an adaptive number eBook. The use of technology has been demonstrated to aid young children's ability to learn literacy and math skills (e.g., Shamir, 2009), and the present thesis sought to test the role that parents may play in this context. The eBook provided an electronic space for children to learn math skills using adaptive features, meaning the stimuli increased or decreased in complexity based on children's prior performance. The study examined the effects of the adaptive qualities of the eBook on parental attitudes towards mathematics, and also explored if parents' perceptions of their child's global and specific math skills in numerical comparison increased after reading the number eBooks. Overall, significant differences between eBook types were found for parental perceptions of children's numerical comparison skills, but results indicated no significant differences for parental attitudes toward mathematics or parental perceptions of children's global math skills. Effect sizes indicated that use of the adaptive eBook may have positively impacted parental attitudes in a small way, and may have positively impacted parent perception of children's specific math skills on a large scale. These findings, their implications, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Download or read book An Examination of the Relationship Between Parents' Attitudes and Actions Pertaining to Mathematics and Their First-Grade Private School Children's Attitudes Towards Mathematics written by Butsie Cohen Weinstein and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children should begin to learn foundational mathematical concepts at a developmentally appropriate level at home when they are young, just as they learn the building blocks of reading when involved in daily activities. Parents of young children should understand the importance of introducing these concepts to their children in fun, natural ways so they do not miss the opportunity to facilitate the building of a strong mathematical foundation in their children. In addition to understanding the importance of math-related experiences parents provide their young children, it is essential to understand how parents' attitudes towards math may inadvertently predispose their children to think negatively about math, potentially impacting the children's attitude towards math throughout their school career. As young children are influenced by both affective and tangible experiences with parents in their homes, the purpose of this study was to explore the possible influence of parental attitudes about math and the math-related experiences they provide on the attitudes towards math of their non first born, first-grade private school children. This qualitative case study used individual interviews of the parents, specifically the mothers, and their first-grade private school children and an observation of the mothers and children baking cookies together to gather data which were then analyzed using a five step process to answer the research questions: Is there a relationship between parents' attitudes about math and the attitudes about math of their first-grade children enrolled in private schools? and How do parents' actions influence the attitudes about math of their first-grade children enrolled in private schools? Study findings indicate that there is a positive relationship between the children's attitude towards math and what they perceive their mother's attitude towards math to be. However, there was no evidence that using math in their everyday lives led to a positive attitude towards math in the children primarily because study participants were unaware of the foundational math concepts embedded in their daily activities. Recommendations include teaching parents about basic foundational math concepts and how they can be included in engaging real life activities and how making a purposeful connection between the activity and math concept(s) involved can bridge the home-school math experiences leading to a more cohesive math education.

Download or read book The Effect of Parent Involvement on the Measures of Academic Progress Assessment written by Melissa Anne Dresko and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are a set of academic standards in mathematics and English language arts. The mathematics standards introduce students to many new strategies and expectations to which parents have never been exposed. Many parents have expressed concern and frustration about these standards because they are unable to help their children with completing homework correctly. In addition to this, research has confirmed that parental involvement in education is positively associated with student achievement. Therefore, it is a worry if parents are unable to help their children with homework. The major aim of this study was to further investigate parents' attitudes towards mathematics, and more specifically towards the changes that the CCSS have created in 3rd & 4th grade mathematics. Additionally, this study could be beneficial in making future decisions about supporting parents and families. Parents of 3rd & 4th graders were interviewed and asked questions about their feelings towards mathematics, if they help with the mathematics homework, and if they are happy with the changes in mathematics. This information was then compared with their child's winter scores on the standardized district assessment called, Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). Although there was not a direct relationship between students' scores on the MAP assessment and the parents' responses, the information collected from the interviews was extremely valuable. Parents have noticed changes in the way students are being taught mathematics and those changes are making it difficult for parents to support their children with homework. The majority of parents are not happy with the changes and do not see the benefits to their children's mathematics skills. Interestingly, many would be interested in a type of mathematics training course for parents. This could lead to parents feeling more supported by the school, and in turn, being able to support their children with homework.

Book excerpt: Banish math anxiety and give students of all ages a clear roadmap to success Mathematical Mindsets provides practical strategies and activities to help teachers and parents show all children, even those who are convinced that they are bad at math, that they can enjoy and succeed in math. Jo Boaler—Stanford researcher, professor of math education, and expert on math learning—has studied why students don't like math and often fail in math classes. She's followed thousands of students through middle and high schools to study how they learn and to find the most effective ways to unleash the math potential in all students. There is a clear gap between what research has shown to work in teaching math and what happens in schools and at home. This book bridges that gap by turning research findings into practical activities and advice. Boaler translates Carol Dweck's concept of 'mindset' into math teaching and parenting strategies, showing how students can go from self-doubt to strong self-confidence, which is so important to math learning. Boaler reveals the steps that must be taken by schools and parents to improve math education for all. Mathematical Mindsets: Explains how the brain processes mathematics learning Reveals how to turn mistakes and struggles into valuable learning experiences Provides examples of rich mathematical activities to replace rote learning Explains ways to give students a positive math mindset Gives examples of how assessment and grading policies need to change to support real understanding Scores of students hate and fear math, so they end up leaving school without an understanding of basic mathematical concepts. Their evasion and departure hinders math-related pathways and STEM career opportunities. Research has shown very clear methods to change this phenomena, but the information has been confined to research journals—until now. Mathematical Mindsets provides a proven, practical roadmap to mathematics success for any student at any age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses problems and challenges that face educational measurement at a time when multipurpose usage of observational data from educational assessments, tests and international surveys has become a growing global trend. While the construction of educational measures and use of educational data offer many opportunities, they also require awareness of the numerous threats to validity and methods of reducing such threats. Written by leading international scholars, the book demonstrates the complexity of educational measurement by addressing three broad and interrelated topics. The first part discusses cognitive abilities, including studies on fluid intelligence, its improvement and its links to aptitude tests for admission to higher education. The second part focuses on the effects of school and teacher-related factors on school outcomes at individual and group levels, and uses international studies to analyze causes. The third part presents analytical techniques and measurement methods to improve reliability, for example factor analysis using Bayesian estimators, bi-factor analysis, model misfit and solutions, and discusses balance issues in reporting test results. The book provides examples of state-of-the-art analytical techniques for pursuing fundamental research problems, and the latest advances in measurement methods, with a focus on validity improvement. Eminent researchers discuss and provide insights into questions such as: Is it possible to train individuals to think at a higher level than normal for their age? What determines prospective preschool teachers’ skill to perceive mathematics-related preschool situations? Can international indicator design and instruments be improved to use trends and national context variables more efficiently? Can indicator data at national, school and class levels be compared easier? Are value-added measures of teacher effectiveness valid when it comes to hiring and promoting teachers? Is money better spent on teacher training than on smaller class-size? How do theory and empirical statistical data intertwine in building structures of understanding? This book is inspired by the career and personal influence of the Swedish scholar Professor Jan-Eric Gustafsson, renowned for his research on individual differences, especially the structure of cognitive abilities, and on the effects of education on knowledge and skills.

Book excerpt: Engage students in mathematics using growth mindset techniques The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, you'll find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help you do just that, by looking at the big ideas at the first-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation. During their work with tens of thousands of teachers, authors Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, and Cathy Williams heard the same message—that they want to incorporate more brain science into their math instruction, but they need guidance in the techniques that work best to get across the concepts they needed to teach. So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning. Open, creative, and visual math tasks have been shown to improve student test scores, and more importantly change their relationship with mathematics and start believing in their own potential. The tasks in Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that: There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels. Mistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth. Speed is unimportant in mathematics. Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics. With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics, Mindset Mathematics is organized around nine big ideas which emphasize the connections within the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and can be used with any current curriculum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not 4th grade students participating in a series of Family Math Nights had significantly higher achievement scores as well as student and parent attitudes about mathematics when compared to students at the same school who did not participate in the Family Math Nights. In order to gauge the effectiveness ofthe Family Math Nights the following items were analyzed: student achievement will be evaluated by analyzing data using a pretest and posttest of the 4th grade mathematics curriculum given to control and experimental groups; student and parent attitudes about mathematics will be analyzed using a Likert scale survey both at the beginning and conclusion of each Family Math Night. The surveys will be analyzed to see if the Family Math Nights have an impact on student and parent attitudes toward mathematics. Overall, this study provides quantitative information about the effect Family Math can have on students in one elementary school classroom. There is not sufficient evidence to support the positive effect Family Math had on student achievement in mathematics. Yet, for this study when student attitudes were analyzed, survey scores indicated that attending a series of Family Math Nights improved student attitudes towards mathematics.
